If basic restarts and updates fail, deeper setting conflicts or corrupted sync data are usually blocking your Apple Watch alarms.

Check Focus and Silent Mode Settings

Disable Focus modes: Swipe up on your watch face to open the Control Center and make sure Do Not Disturb or a custom sleep/work Focus is turned off.
Check Silent Mode: If you use Silent Mode, open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone, go to the Clock settings, and make sure Break Through Silent Mode is enabled so sounds can bypass the mute switch.
Verify Haptics and Volume: On your watch, go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics, ensure Haptic Alertsis toggled on, and turn the Alert Volume slider up.
